Polymerization and copolymerization of N-vinyl compounds

Communication 8. Polymerization of vinylsuccinimide in aqueous solution

Summary

  1. 1.

    It has been established that polymerization of vinylsuccinimide in aqueous solution in the presence of potassium persulfate can yield polymers of high molecular weight.and soluble in readily available solvents; chloroform, methylene chloride, dichloroethane, dioxan, pyridine, etc. Formalin and urea are suitable as additives for suppressing the branching and cross-linking of the polymeric chains.

  2. 2.

    Polymerization of vinylsuccinimide in aqueous solution is strongly inhibited by atmospheric oxygen, especially below 70°.
